“The best rock opera ever” comes to the Murcia auditorium in a show to raise funds for cancer research

Two performances of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice’s musical Jesus Christ Superstar, viewed by some as the finest rock opera ever, are scheduled at the Auditorio Víctor Villegas in Murcia on 19th and 20th April to raise funds for charity.

Over 50 amateur singers, actors and dancers belonging to the Asociación Jesucristo Superstar Murcia make up the cast for the show, the plot of which follows the week leading up to the crucifixion of Christ seen from the point of view of Judas Iscariot. This version of the musical is in Spanish, and also features members of the Carmen Romero dance company.

The Asociación Jesucristo Superstar Murcia was formed in 2014 and has received praise for previous performances at the Teatro Romea in 2017 and the Teatro Guerra in Lorca in 2018. Their mission is to raise money for charitable causes, and in this case all ticket sale proceeds will be donated to the AECC cancer charity, specifically for research into cancer in young children.

The performances on 19th and 20th April begin at 19.00, with tickets priced at 25 euros.
